A riding mate introduced a few of us to the Lumpy 100 a couple of weeks ago. Start Toowong, Mt Coot-tha going up frontside, ride across to Waterworks Rd, swing over Settlement Road, left at Samson Rd, over Camp Mtn, cross westside back of Samford, Mt Glorious to the village, down (mostly) Mt Nebo, across Gap creek Road and back to Toowong. About 100km and a great morning out. Early start needed to beat the heat!

In the past, there has been some friction with motorist, who regard this road as their private racetrack on public holidays. Mainly because some cyclists overtake three or more deep on the bends. Be very careful.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise, and fill me in? Is it an organised by any group in particular etc?

Thanks!

Can't really remember but I think it was 6:30 at the servo on waterworks/settlement intersection and 6 somewhere in the city (maybe toowong?) Used to be >100 people a few years ago. Don't know what it's like these days.

Up Nebo Saturday, avoid the first coffee the shop, the owner is not bike friendly, he went mental at us because we sat on his chairs before his shop was open, calling us all c**ts, talk about biting the had that feeds you!

Thanks for letting us know Merlin...I have used that coffee shop four times now, including bringing the family up after a big ride... After hearing that you were treated so poorly, I will give them a miss from now on...

Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...

I was planning to the other day and mum called to say the Goat Track-Samford was closed off due to water over the road from South Pine. The steep decent was closed due to a landside and debris at the hairpin. Mt Nebo-Mt Glorious was open to light traffic only for necessity. Mt Glorious-Whivenhow-Summerset Road is still closed due to very large amounts of falled trees, power/phone lines, flooded and landslides.

Goat Track - Samford is fine. I got a message saying Goat Track to Mt Glorious was open. West side of Mt G is still closed.
